Application filed June 30,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE J. RICHARD- SON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Petersburg, in the county of Dinwiddie and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined 'TrashPteceptacles and Advertising Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

his invention relates to a combined trash receptacle and advertising carrier, wherein the receptacle is specifically constructed as 'complete for a trash receptacle and provided for the removable reception of advertising sections.

The improved combined trash receptacle and advertising carrier is further constructed for the reception of aflexible retainer, such as a bag, into which the trash is delivered while the bag is held open within the receptacle, the top of the receptacle being constructed for hinge connection with the receptacle proper, and being formed with a plurality of doors, particularly located so that they may be readily turned to open position toprovide for a direct entrance of the trash into the bag.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved trash receptacle and advertising carrier.

Fig. 2 is a similar view with the top open, showing the bag in distended relation.

Fig. 3 is a broken side elevation of the receptacle showing the bag with the mouth closed and partly withdrawn from the receptacle.

on line 44 of Fig 3.

Fig. 4 is a section .Fig. 5 is a broken vertical section, illustrating particularly the operative relationof the doors and the openings covered thereby and through which the trash is delivered to the bag.

, In the drawings, the improved receptacle is shown as comprising a body 1, of approx imately rectangular form including walls 2 secured together by exterior corner bracesv 3. Overlylng and secured to the braces 3 are angular corner pieces 4.- Which extend beyond the edges of the braces 33, and thereby provide between the extended portions of said corner pieces and the walls of the receptacle, channels orgrooves 5 into which may be-readi'ly inserted advertising Specification of Letters Patent.

slides 6 the latter being supported at the bottom by suitable means, such for instance as shown at 6. The corner braces may if deslred, have upper and lower strips 7 and 8, which by the spacing referred to, additionally guide and overlie the advertising strips 6 when the latter are in position.

The receptacle is supported upon legs 9, and is provided at the upper open end with a cover 10, the walls of which form the lower margin which is commensurate in size and shape with the top of the receptacle, curve'upwardly and inwardly at 11, and terminate in a centrally located upstanding rectangular section 12, the edge Walls of which are in a plane substantially parallel to the walls of the receptacle, as at 13, The upwardly and inwardly curved walls 11 are formed with openings 14, and doors 15 are hinged to the walls to cover said open m s.

Flhe cover 10 is hinged at 16 to the upper edge of the receptacle proper, and the lower edge of the cover, when said cover is closed,

bears upon-and overlies the upper edges of 7 cover and receptacle to prevent undue openmg movement of the cover, and when it is desired to insert panels, the straps 18 are released, s0 that the cover can be thrown back. v

A flexible container such as the bag 19 is adapted to be used -within the receptacle for the reception of trash, and the receptacle is provided with hooks or other supports 20 within the upper edge thereof, on which the mouth edge of the bag may be secured to hold the bag in open position.

It will be noted that with the bag held in such position, the edges of the bag are adjacent the walls of'the receptacle, and that due to the inward curve of the walls of the cover in which the trash admission openings are formed, all trash delivered through said openings is prevented from falling into any portion of the receptacle other than the bag. In other words, the relation of the openings 14 are such that all material delivered therethrough is compelled to fall into the bag.

After the bag has been filled, the mouth edge thereof is disengaged from the receptacle, closed and secured by a retainer as 21'and bodily removed from the receptacle. The upright edges 13 of the section 12 of the cover provide an efficient space for appropriate lettering such as the street desig nation, or the like.

What I claim is A combined trash and advertising medium comprising areceptacle, a skeleton frame spaced from the walls of and surrounding the receptacle to form panel guideways, panels fitted in the guideways,

a cover hinged to the top of the frame outside the vertical plane of the guideways, whereb to permit of removal of the panels when the cover is in open position or when closed to hold said panels against movement, said cover having upwardly and inwardly curved walls terminating in a square dome having vertical side walls to receive advertising data, one of the upwardly" and inwardly curved Walls having an opening, the uppermost wall of which is spaced from the adjacent vertical wall of the dome, a closure hinged'to said upper wall and curved in cross-section to subst'antially correspond to the curvature of the curved wall in whlch the opening is formed,

whereby when the closure is thrown open it will be supported in an inclined position against the dome and a substantially curved, chute is formed to direct trash into the opening.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

GEORGE J.- RICHARDSON. I
